"Hold mp your handsi"
The speaker was n man Of slight but
shapely build. with a piercing eye, a
rosolute look, a commanding voice and
bearing of one who was absolute
master Of the situation. Attitcd In his
robe dc mutt he stood In q doorway Of
the dining-room Of his own house, an
elegant mansion on tho boulevard, and
he held in his hand ll-calibor revol-
yer pointed straight ahead Of him with
an ann that varied not the smallest
fraction of hairs breadth.
The man addressed was ruiiian OF
powerful frame aud sinister aspect
He stood In front Of ali elaborate side
board, a door Of which was open, exs
posing in tho dim glare Of tho dark
lantern whose rays werc flashed into
the interior a glittoring array Of costly
plate which he was about to lay his
brawny hand upon when arrested
by the startling command already
quoted.
Taken by surprise the stalwart
marauder turned his face In the di-
rcction from which the voice proceeded
and stood for moment irresolute.

"Move a muscle and you are dead

that had already smittcn his herculcan
form as with paralysis. and the owner
of that voice moved forward and took
the dark lantern from the nerveless
hand that held IL. With swift and
methodical movements he placed 1t on
the sidcboard so that its rays fcebly
outlined the form before him. aud, with
that terrible weapon still aimed uncr-
ringly at his heart, he thrust his hands
into the pockets of the helpless wretch.

Why Canned Meats Poison.

When people are poisoned by eating
canned meats, it Is not because there
was poison in the meat before the can
was opened. but because the meat had
been allowed to develop the ptomaine
poison Of putreiaction after the can was
opened. II was not canned salmon,
the other day. that poisoned family
that ate it with impunity the first day
after 1t was opened, but it was salmon
that was spoiled by foriy-eight hours
exposure to the hot and humid atmos-
phere. il is very rare that any one is
made sick by metallic salts in canned
foods. The only metal that may cause
poisoning IN the case Of these foods is
lead, and this is as unlikely rs the fall
ing Of meteor on your head. 1t is
not supposabo that lead Is present In
the coating Of the tin plate, It's use 70
this purpose being Illegal and produc-
tive Of Insignificant saving It is pos
siblc that poisoning may occur from
the solder, but II is highly Improbable
from the way that cans are made.
GOOD housekeeping.
